Australian model/actress Megan Gale is a first-time mother after giving birth to a son. The brunette beauty gave birth to River Alan Thomas Hampson, her first child with her sports star boyfriend Shaun Hampson, on Tuesday (13May14) and she shared the news in a post on her Instagram.com page.
She writes, "Our precious little 3.87kg (8.5 pound) man came into the world... (on) the 13th of May 2014 at 4.47pm. Needless to say Shaun and I are completely smitten with him and we're beyond blessed to have such a healthy baby... We love you little man and are SO thrilled to be your parents."
Gale later posted a picture of her baby son revealing his name, explaining, "Rivers is my Mum's maiden name, Alan after my Dad, Thomas for Shaun's Dad and the last name just like his Daddy's."

Yes, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is still in theatres, but we're already ready for more (especially as that ending was one helluva cliffhanger). What can we look forward to in the next installment of the trilogy quartet?
Less Josh Hutcherson – we know from the books that Peeta's only really in the second half of the story (fans are already speculating that Mockingjay Part I will end on [SPOILER ALERT] Hijacked Peeta's hands closing on Katniss' throat). Jennifer Lawrence also mentioned that she misses having Josh Hutcherson around on set. Sorry Peeniss shippers!
More Liam Hemsworth – now, Everthorne shippers, on the other hand, are in luck – Gale's going to be around a lot more in this movie. In fact, we're all in for a treat, as Hemsworth has given us such thrilling and nuanced performances in the past! (Sarcasm is hard to get across in print, isn't it?).
More Sam Claflin – this one, I'm genuinely excited for (and for more than just superficial reasons, ahem). As is director Francis Lawrence – in an interview with TIME Magazine, he gave credit where credit was due in terms of Sam Claflin re: physical appearance and level of charmingness, but noted that what he really liked was "the emotional side of him." We'll also get some more of Finnick's backstory, something that was missing from Catching Fire.
(Even) more emotional turmoil – Katniss' severe PTSD is one thing on the page in first person narrative, and it's almost certain to be quite another on the big screen: we're guessing that it's going to be fascinating to watch with the Lawrence2 acting/directing team does with all the heavy themes. In his recent Reddit AMA Francis Lawrence even noted that one of the biggest challenges of the film will be "tracking her [Katniss'] emotional trajectory." Judging from Catching Fire, we know they'll do it with aplomb, no matter how difficult.
Bonus: Jennifer Lawrence will sing! (?) – when asked if Katniss will be singing "The Hanging Tree" in Mockingjay, Francis Lawrence coyly demurred, but noted that it was "one of my [his] favorite scenes in the book."

What’s a dystopian novel without a post-apocalyptic world? In The Hunger Games that world is Panem, the nation which rose out of the ashes of current day North America. Panem is split up into 12 districts (we don’t talk about District 13) and a glittering and wealthy capital city.
Taking a page from The Colbert Report, this ongoing “Better Know a District” series will take a look at the districts that make up the brutal Hunger Games world.
Welcome To District 12: The Hungry Coal Miners!
Location: District 12 is most likely located somewhere around the Appalachia.
Industry: District 12 is known for its coal mining.
Classes: District 12 is notable for containing two classes of people: the miners and the merchants. Despite providing the district with its main export, the mining class tends to be much poorer (and in much worse health) than the merchant class.
Notable Residents: Most of the main characters in The Hunger Games trilogy hail from District 12. This includes heroine Katniss Everdeen, her sister Prim, her best friend Gale, and fellow competitor Peeta. Their mentor is the boozy Haymitch Abernathy, one of the few former winners of the Games from District 12.
The Seam: The Seam is where the poorest residents of District 12 live, right near the forest that borders the district. This forest is where Katniss and Gale go to hunt in order to keep their families from starving. Unlike the blonde haired and blue-eyed merchant class, the residents of The Seam tend to have dark hair, gray eyes, and olive skin.
The Hob: The Hob is the black market in District 12, where Katniss and Gale often bring their hunting hauls to make some extra money or trade for needed supplies.
Hunger Games Prospects: Before Katniss and Peeta shocked all of Panem with their win, the tributes from District 12 tended to do very poorly in The Hunger Games. This is probably because of the relative poverty of the district and the lack of Games training.

It's not uncommon for a film series to employ various directors for different installments of the series — just look at the Harry Potter or Pirates of the Caribbean series — but with that decision comes a list of changes that not all fans will want to get behind. The director for the second installment of the The Hunger Games franchise, Francis Lawrence, sat down with New York Magazine and revealed a few of the changes he plans to make with Catching Fire. Here's our take on the pros and cons of his ideas for the film:
PROS
No More Shaky CamLawrence says that there will be no shaky cam in Catching Fire, and that he thinks "a lot of people will be happy to hear that." Lawrence, you can't even begin to understand how happy that makes us. We'll be able to sit back and enjoy the film without wondering when our next vertigo spell will hit.
Better CGIAccording to Lawrence, the effects in Catching Fire will be "phenomenal." Weta Digital, the five-time Academy Award-winning visual effects facility, was charged with the task of creating the monkey-mutt attack that is featured in the book. Weta previously did Rise of the Planet of the Apes and King Kong, so it sounds like we're in for some seriously good special effects.
CONS
More Focus on the Katniss-Peeta-Gale Love TriangleI'm sure tweens across the nation will be squealing in their seats when they see more than their fair share of young love, but for the rest of us, it might be too much to handle. Even Katniss, the protaganist of the story, doesn't like to spend time thinking about her suitors. She'd rather be fighting for, you know, basic human rights for the people of Panem.
Less of Jennifer Lawrence's "Running Face"So apparently there is something that Jennifer Lawrence isn't comfortable with: her running face in The Hunger Games. According to Francis Lawrence, she asked him to make sure that when she was running on screen, she wasn't making a "stupid face." C'mon, J-Law! There's nothing we love more than your hysterically confident facial expressions.
MIDDLE GROUND
A Long List of Well-Known ActorsLawrence feels that having pedigree actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman (Plutarch Heavensbee in Catching Fire) and Julianne Moore (who won't be featured as President Coin until The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1) only enhances the films. Yes, having big names can garner a larger audience and add an element of awe to the film, but at some point, doesn't it just become a little too much? The fans of The Hunger Games trilogy would still be fans if no-name actors were cast to play their favorite characters.
We'll all just have to wait and see how Lawrence's vision for the film plays out when Catching Fire hits theaters Nov. 22.

We don't have time to be excited for Mockingjay yet, we're still too busy being excited for Catching Fire!
There's no rest for a diehard Hunger Games fan, as before even the second chapter of the franchise hits theaters, we're finding behind-the-scenes photos for the third! These new pics from the set of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (the penultimate entry in the movie series) showcase stars Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth skulking, sniping, and just enjoying a nice relaxing Sunday on the water.

Despite the sunny ambiance of these phots, the third book in Suzanne Collins' series has hero Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) spending a good deal of time underground. As part of a movement to regain civility for her oppressed nation, Katniss explores unknown districts of Panem and encounters new characters (such as Julianne Moore's Alma Coin). We're not certain where filmmakers will split Collins' Mockingjay to produce two movies, but we look forward to both films nonetheless.

In the meantime, we wait for Catching Fire, which hits theaters Nov. 22.

Ready for even more zombies? Oh... no? Well, too bad.
AMC, after probably realizing that no one is going to sit through Low Winter Sun no matter how many Breaking Bad sneak peeks you cram inside each episode, has decided to make a new show by doing what has worked best for them over the few years, creating original ideas for engaging television shows forcing more zombies on us.
Variety reports that the network is developing a new companion series based off of their monster hit The Walking Dead. The new series will come from Robert Kirkman, original creator of The Walking Dead comics, and executive producers Gale Anne Hurd and Dave Alpert. The show would take place in the same universe as The Walking Dead, but would feature an all-new cast of characters.
In a statement about the new companion series, Kirkman said, "After 10 years of writing the comic book series and being so close to the debut of our fourth, and in my opinion, best season of the TV series, I couldn't be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of The Walking Dead universe. The opportunity to make a show that isn’t tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing."
AMC seems to be looking towards old successes for its newest properties. Along with this new Walking Dead spin-off, the network is also developing a series based on Breaking Bad. The Breaking Bad spin-off would feature the adventures of sleazy bus bench lawyer Saul Goodman before he meets Walter White. While the Saul Goodman spin-off idea seems to have come from a place of genuine creativity and desire to make something artful, the announcement of this Walking Dead companion piece feels like nothing short of a ratings grab. AMC president Charlie Collier even alludes to that fact in a recent release, saying, "Building on the success of the most popular show on television for adults 18-49 is literally a no-brainer."
AMC originally made it's prestigious name in the televison drama market by creating the kinds of programs that have challenged the way we precieve television, and the types of stories that the medium can depict. Shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and even The Walking Dead were daring moves that paid off because they presented viewers with something different and exciting. We hope that this new series can deliver the same crowd-pleasing blood splatter that the original show is known for, but this is certainly television production at its most cold and clinical.

Forget everything you know about The Hunger Games, because the first movie was "child's play."
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire trailer, seen above and revealed at Comic-Con this weekend, leaves us hopeful that the sequel will redeem the second Suzanne Collins book in the Hunger Games trilogy from being not quite as good as the first. Here's how:
1. Move over, Katniss: CGI is the real star.
The trailer for Catching Fire hints at unbelievably impressive CGI special effects with animations embodying the futuristic city of Panem. Although we don't see much of the 75th Hunger Games' arena, viewers can anticipate a clock-like set up with different sections composed of various "horrors" unleashed by the hour. Look forward to acid fog, blood rain, a tidal wave, carnivorous monkeys, "jabberjays" that repeat the sounds of loved ones screaming in terror, and even more CGI-filled fun.
2. Liam Hemsworth sets the screen on fire.
Many fans agree that the biggest disappointment of the first movie is that Katniss' prime love interest Gale (played by Jennifer Lawrence and the steamy Liam Hemsworth, respectively) barely has any screen time. Josh Hutcherson's Peeta is cute, but lezbehonest... he can't hold a candle to the rugged and chiseled Gale HAWThorne. Thankfully, the second movie brings us a whole lotta Hemsworth (think shirtless flogging in the village square) and even a little kissing action (as seen in the teaser trailer). Team Gale for life!
3. Plutarch Heavensbee: Philip Seymour Hoffman's next Oscar-winning role?
As if The Capitol wasn't corrupt enough, Donald Sutherland's slimy President Snow is joined in Catching Fire by the positively peeved Head Gamemaker, Plutarch Heavensbee, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. There's no denying it: any movie with PSH is bound for greatness.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ignites theaters on November 22, and these games, also starring Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, and Jena Malone, are "definitely going to be different." In the best possible way.

Nate Berkus is on his way to becoming a married man. Berkus' rep confirms for Hollywood.com that the 41-year-old reality television star — who found fame when his friend and fan Oprah Winfrey introduced him to the world — became engaged to his boyfriend of nearly a year, fellow designer Jeremiah Brent on Monday.
Brent shared the joyous news with his Twitter followers when he posted a photo of the "life changing" proposal that took place at Machu Picchu with loved ones by their side.
The engagement news comes as a happy ending for Berkus, who endured tragedy in 2004 when his longtime partner Fernando Bengoechea died in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami when the two were vacationing in Sri Lanka. Berkus shared the emotional story with Winfrey during an appearance on her show in 2005. Berkus called his survival in the tragedy a "miracle".
A heartfelt congrats to Berkus and Brent.
